Eat Smaller Meals Frequently: Instead of 3 big meals if you can take 5 small meals that would be even better. When your stomach is in a starvation mode you are more likely to indulge in snacking.

Avoid Junk Food: Avoid eating and buying unhealthy food. When buying foods always make a list of healthy food and stick to the list only. Foods that are high in protein, fiber and nutrients such as vegetables or fruits are a good choice.

Self Control: Always remind yourself that snacking is not good for you and your diet plans. Imagine yourself as a very fat person , and your desire to snack will disappear.

Focus on something else: You can try taking up some activity which needs the usage of hands like cleaning, washing, or anything else which could turn your minds from snacking.

Don't keep snacks near you: Many of us store snacks in the car or at home so we can eat it when we feel the urge. Simple, just don't do it.
